TAXI TRAFFIC
MEASURES OF CONTROL; The lack of taxi traffic regulation was one-of the worst features of traffic control to-day. said Mr. V. Rames, No. 3 Transport Licensing Authority, during the hearing of a case in Christchurch. Everyone who travelled about in recent months must have had experiences similar to his own, ;he said. There were very few taxis to meet trains and steamers, for instance, where these should be among their first calls. Taxis, apparently, had more profitable business of some sort. Adequate measures of control had been promised, and he thought abuses would shortly be stopped. He expected committees would be constituted and controlling measures introduced early in August. Taxis would have to confine their operations to essential services and travel to and from trains and steamers and to and from such places as hospitals.
